EVERYONE who has suffered side effects from Levaquin or any of the drugs in that family, PLEASE submit a complaint to the FDA through Med Search. This website has the form which you can do online or print and mail.
I submitted mine 2 days ago, as advised by my pharmacist. I asked 2 of them about Levaquin and neither had heard of these problems, so we really need to publicize this.
We need to tell every doctor who has prescribed this and ask that they make a report as well Whether your doctor believes your problems came from the Levaquin or not, at least go and get your condition documented in a medical file. We may need this later to send to Med Search or the FDA.
My pharmacist said making these reports to Med Search is the way to get the warning labels updated. Hopefully this will also get the word out to all the doctors who prescribe this horrific drug that it is NOT to be used as a first line of treatment.
If everyone that has written on these websites makes a complaint and does so as soon as you can, we might be able to spare many others this unnecessary suffering.
